Ke Xue exorcists demons and starts with immobilization

Certainly!

Before he could take a closer look, Chu Zhong raised his hand to freeze Kogoro, then rushed forward and pulled the arm that was locking Kogoro's neck off.

Kogoro collapsed limply to the ground, his fate unknown.

Chu Zhong quickly checked and found that he still had a heartbeat, which relieved him.

If Kogoro dies too, the dungeon rating will definitely be terrible.

Boom!Boom!Boom!

Before the immobilization period ended, Chu Zhong dragged the unconscious Kogoro away from Nakamichi and Shichi while stomping on the wooden floor, making a deafening noise.

As soon as the freeze ended, the sounds of doors opening and footsteps could be heard downstairs.

"court death!"

Once he resumed his actions, Nakamichi and Shichi roared and charged aggressively toward Chu Zhong.

Chu Zhong calmly took out a small item from his inventory and threw it directly at Zhongdao and Zhi.

Perhaps because the thing was too small and inconspicuous, Nakamichi and Shi didn't avoid it at all, as if they didn't care about it at all.

But the next second,

Bang-!

Nakamichi Kazushi was tripped and fell hard.

-35

A damage number also appeared.

"Dungeon Exclusive Item - Hot Spring Stone": If thrown and hits the target, it will always trip them up.

Chu Zhong glanced at Zhongdao and Zhi's health and found that they only had 20.

Also a leader-level being, the Tree Demon of Bandaged Manor has a whopping 50.

However, the tree demon is rooted in the soil, unable to move, and not very intelligent...

While pondering, Nakamichi Kazushi got up again.

Bang!

He tripped again very quickly.

"You brat! I'm going to kill you!!!"

After falling and getting up several times in a row, Nakamichi Kazushi, who had no way to use his strength, was so angry that his face turned red and his neck bulged, his entire bald head turned red, and he looked murderous.

However, Chu Zhong's helpers also arrived.

"beat him."

Chu Zhong pointed, and the martial arts fanatic Xiao Lan, who had arrived, immediately rushed forward and joined forces with Zhong Dao and Zhi Zhan.

Martial arts fanatic Xiaolan possesses demon king-level martial arts strength. Even when using the real Xiaolan's body, her reaction speed, attack speed, and agility all surpass Zhongdao and Zhi.

Muscular but slow-moving, Nakado and Shichi, who were only at the leader level, couldn't even touch the hem of the martial arts fanatic Xiaolan's clothes with their attacks.

-415, -443, -396, 778! ...

One damage number after another floated above Zhongdao and Zhiguang's heads, with the occasional critical hit appearing.

With the bond between her best friend and her father, Xiaolan, the martial arts fanatic, deals significantly more damage.

Within minutes, Nakamichi Kazushi was reduced to low health and collapsed on the ground.

Conan, who was standing nearby, was stunned by the violent scene.

"Okay, stop."

At Chu Zhong's prompting, the martial arts fanatic Xiao Lan stopped in time, saving her life.

The martial arts fanatic Xiao Lan is not the real Xiao Lan; she doesn't respect the elderly or care for the young, and she really will kill.

Although he's a dungeon boss, Nakamichi and Shichi died in the dungeon, and they might die in real life too.

Besides, the mission requirement is only to 'defeat', not 'kill'.

Sure enough, the system quickly issued a notification:

[Successfully defeated the hidden perpetrator. Dungeon rating: SSS]

Chu Zhong was taken aback upon hearing this.

The death of Ayashiro Yukio actually resulted in an SSS-level rating?

That makes sense, though. Ayashiro Yukio was accidentally killed by Ōmura Jun, and it had nothing to do with Nakamichi Kazushi.

Current experience reward multiplier: 140%, experience gained: 14000

[Current Spiritual Essence Reward Multiplier: 150%, Spiritual Essence: 15000]

[Level Up! Current Level: 25 → 26]

With more teammates, the rewards are higher, and the abundant experience allows Chu Zhong to level up once again.

[1 skill point gained upon level up]

[Costs 1 skill point, increases maximum mana: 180 → 190]

[Materials Obtained: Exquisite Inner Core, Cold Iron Leaf *3]

It's still the exquisite inner core whose uses are still unknown, and the cold iron leaf that can repair equipment durability.

[Item Obtained: Judo Insights]

Consumable item "Judo Insights": Grants a large amount of judo proficiency upon use.

It's another prop related to martial arts insights.

Unlike the one dropped in the Demon Immortal-level Kyogoku Makoto dungeon.

This "Judo Tips" has no barriers to entry; even people who have never practiced martial arts can immediately acquire close-combat self-defense skills.

Chu Zhong thought for a moment. He possessed an invincible transformation skill in close combat, so using it would be a waste.

Perfect timing, I have a guess I'd like to test...

[Use the item "Judo Insights" on teammate/Boss-level Sonoko Suzuki?]

Sure!

As the "Judo Insights" item disappeared from the inventory, Sonoko's skill bar in the teammate panel gained an "Advanced Judo" skill.

The instance will close in 30 minutes.

The fictional Sonoko learned judo, but what about the real Sonoko?

Chu Zhong didn't wait long and ended the instance early.

[Instance closed... Anomalies being fixed...]

As the system notification sounded, Chu Zhong also obtained a revised set of memories.

Unlike the last multiplayer dungeon which featured an overly fantastical tree spirit, this time the multiplayer dungeon had few anomalies, with only a few 'unreasonable' situations being corrected.

For example, seeing Chu use a freezing spell in the bathroom...

But upon returning to reality, Chu Zhong noticed that Zhongdao and Zhi, who had been beaten black and blue with several broken bones, had visibly lessened their injuries.

Therefore, the damage received in multiplayer dungeons is also within the scope of the correction, and will be reduced after returning to reality.

Kogoro, who had fainted, slowly opened his eyes.

"Dad! Are you alright?"

Ran Mouri walked over quickly and asked with concern.

"it's okay no problem……"

With his daughter's help, Kogoro stood up, looking relieved: "Luckily, Chu Zhong arrived in time, otherwise..."

As he spoke, Kogoro looked at his former classmate who was getting up from the floor and sighed, "Kazushi, what's wrong with you?"

Then came the most familiar procedure in Chu: Zhongdao and Zhi knelt down, wept bitterly, and repented.

According to Kazushi Nakamichi, he has been unhappy these past few years. He has been pursuing Yumi Horikoshi without success, and he finally managed to get a promotion at work, but the price was that he had to take over his boss's daughter who was pregnant from being taken advantage of.

Seeing Kogoro doing better and better at this gathering, I felt jealous and acted impulsively...

"Kogoro, I was wrong, please let me go..."

Nakamichi and Shido knelt down, weeping as they kowtowed to Kogoro.

"Ugh……"

After a long silence, Kogoro sighed and ultimately did not pursue the matter of being ambushed by Nakamichi and almost killed.

Nakamichi and Shichi thanked him profusely and swore that it would never happen again before going downstairs to their room.

"You should all go and rest too..."

Kogoro waved to Chu, Ran, Sonoko, and Conan, then continued to sit outside Omura Jun's room, looking dejected.

It was 1:30 a.m.

Seeing that Kogoro was in a bad mood, Chu Zhong called Ran and Sonoko down to the second floor to go back to their rooms to rest.

"You...you're going to sleep in the same room?"

Just as he was about to enter, Conan's surprised voice came from behind him.

Chapter 163 After peeping, he still wanted to steal a bite.

"Someone died tonight, and Ran and Sonoko are scared, so they asked me to stay with them... What, Conan, do you have a problem with that?"

Chu Zhong made an excuse and glanced at Conan.

Sonoko retorted sarcastically, "That brat, he's probably thinking about something inappropriate again!"

Ran Mouri also remembered Conan's previous act of stealing her neighbor's underwear, and immediately frowned as she looked at the latter.

After being ridiculed by everyone, Conan quickly slunk back to his room.

No one could have guessed that after Chu Zhong, Xiao Lan, and Yuan Zi entered the room, they closed the door, turned off the lights, and immediately slept together under the covers.

As for other things, I've had my fill of fun at the hot springs today, and now that it's late, I'm tired and plan to rest properly.

"Why does Lord Chu suddenly want to teach judo?"

However, before falling asleep, Sonoko asked a question in a low voice, somewhat puzzled.

In the darkness, Chu Zhong squeezed Yuanzi's hand and chuckled, "Yuanzi, you're so beautiful, how can I feel at ease if you don't learn some self-defense techniques?"

When you use an item on a teammate, it will be assumed that the teammate gave it to you or taught you how to use it.

In the 'corrected' memory, when Ran sparred with Nakamichi Kazushi, Chu Zhong gave Sonoko a live demonstration of judo techniques.

"Chu-jun is getting more and more glib..." Sonoko said, but secretly kissed Chu-zhong in the dark. "She's not that pretty..."

She was clearly pleased by the flattery.

"At least for me, Sonoko, you are enough to make my heart flutter..."

Chu Zhong replied, conveying his affection once again.

This made Sonoko's heart race, and she scolded playfully, "Alright, alright, stop saying things like that... or you won't be able to sleep later."

Chu Zhong then changed the subject, asking with some curiosity, "Sonoko, how much of the judo techniques have you memorized?"

"Of course I remember everything you said, Chu-kun~" Sonoko replied sweetly, "I feel like I've already learned judo~"

“Memorizing doesn’t mean you can learn it,” Ran Mouri commented from the side.

Ran Mouri had no doubt about Chu Zhong's judo skills, especially his over-the-shoulder throw that could defeat an opponent in one move.

However, martial arts rely on long-term training to form muscle memory, so that the body can subconsciously counterattack when facing an enemy, rather than simply memorizing textbook knowledge.

Chu Zhong said, "You'll know whether you've learned it or not after you have a friendly spar tomorrow."
